In this episode, Ken Fish welcomes retired Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, founding member and former commander of Delta Force, to discuss the powerful intersection of faith, military leadership, spiritual warfare, and Christian calling.
Boykin shares his personal testimony of coming to Christ, the moral complexities of combat, his time in Delta Force, and the importance of being a warrior both in the natural and the spiritual. He and Ken dive into the church's need for spiritually elite "sodality" units, drawing parallels between special operations culture and revival leadership in the Church.
